Just wondering.. i never heard of this (I'm german) but i have seen a documentary about Japan, where employees (in this case salesmen) gathered in the morning, did some kind of sports and some motivational speech and things like that. Is that also something i'd find in the US? I must admit, i smiled at it and found it ridiculous. I'd think all the time "stop wasting time with this shit and get some work done"...
